Description

Information security directly impacts virtually every type of business. While related issues appear in the media more and more, it's typically in a fragmented fashion that really doesn't help give the people tasked with protecting organizational data and other assets a "big picture" view of what the real threats and vulnerabilities are, or what steps should be taken to mitigate them. In this video training, Scott offers a relatively brief, coherent high-level overview of the various types of threats and what steps can and should be taken in response.
